Paralyzed Dog Gets Wheels Taken Away Before Getting Dumped at Shelter

Angie used to walk on all fours, but after suffering an accident she was left paralyzed from her hind legs. Her owners used to love her, but on Feb. 21, 2016, they drove her to Miami-Dade Animal Services and surrendered her. If losing her home and family wasn’t horrible enough, the pet owners took off the wheelchair she used for mobility right before leaving her alone and scared at the shelter.

“URGENT! Just when you think you’ve heard everything you could about crappy owners, you hear this,” said the post. “Angie is paralyzed and was just dumped at the shelter by her owners who took her wheelchair back with them!! Per shelter notes: Recommend transfer to a 24 hour care veterinary facility prior to 6:30 PM on 2/22/16 or humane euthanasia may be indicated.”

Animal lovers worked together and shared the dog’s story, saving her life. Lovey Loaves Inc., learned about Angie and immediately offered to take her in. They organized transport and the following day the unwanted and paralyzed dog was out of the shelter and on her way to a better life.

“Angie is out of the shelter, on the road and SAFE SAFE SAFE!” posted Lovey Loaves Inc.

Three hours later they said she was finally in their arms, was “filthy and in some pain” but the plan was to give her a bath, a warm place to sleep for the night and then it is off to the vet in the morning.

The organization said veterinarians would determine the extent of her injuries after running various tests. If the injuries could be reversed, Angie will get the medical assistance needed to get back on all four legs again. If nothing can be done, rescuers will fit her with her very own custom wheelchair, and this time, the wheels won’t be taken away.

One can only hope they get dumped in a nursing home and stripped of their wheelchair and dignity, god what disgusting sub humans they are. MASSIVE thank you to the amazing people that rescued this poor angel, lets hope she lives her days out being cherished <3

OH MY GOD how are people so horrible?!!? Every time I read one of these awful (but happily ended) stories, I think of how overpopulated we are as a species and how maybe we could solve two problems at once if we culled all the animal abusers, neglecters, and abandoners.

What the hell is wrong with people? It’s bad enough to dump the dog, but why take her wheelchair? What possible use could they have for it? Cruel & thoughtless people, they never deserved this dog in the first place & hopefully she will have a wonderful life ahead of her.

No accounting for people who make such choices for their fur kids with no explanation. This poor baby now has a chance at a new life complete with love and new wheels. Thank you to all the folks involved in saving this precious dogs life.

I continue to be shocked at the people that aren’t just jerks, disrespectful, snobs, bully’s, but the violence and severe abusive people who get a fix out of hurting and torturing others..what is causing all this?

They are not human, they are monsters. No human would do that to a dog. It is my wish that Karma come to them in full force and may the slap be severe. I hope the best for the doggie. May she thrive in her new fur ever home.
